No Busting Here!
More than 400 Minneapolis labor and community activists rallied in late summer against union busting at the Walker Methodist nursing home. Prominent among the demonstrators were members of Council 14, led by Walker employees who belong to Local 3532. Management at the facility refuses to recognize an AFSCME union that some 300 workers voted solidly to form last May — even though the Minneapolis office of the National Labor Relations Board upheld the election results. Instead, management has targeted pro-union employees for discipline and discharge. Results of a second vote have been impounded pending resolution of another appeal. Meanwhile, the workers and their allies are keeping up the pressure.
